Weirdly addictive foods or beverages?

I've noticed that I have certain foods that I just can't eat in moderation! of course this makes sense for my favourite desserts, chips and oily meals but some of my addictive foods are very weird!
I've noticed that I can't keep bananas in the house I'll eat a whole bunch in one day. Similarly, I have a hard time resisting mangos and especially dates. I I supppose it ,use be the sugar? On the salty end, kimchi and sauerkraut are both addictive to me!
And now in the past few days I've been drinking kombucha and realizing that I can't really keep that in the house either.
So what are your guys weird addictive foods or drinks? Can you always moderate or do you sometimes just keep certain foods out of your home entirely?

Coffee! I was coffee sober for approx 4 months until this morning
It doesn't affect me anymore, It doesn't keep me awake, I built a resistance to it, but I like drinking it. I drink it black btw.
m&m's coz they melt in your mouth, not in your hand
Mango. Just because I love them.
Ritz with Nutella A perfect combo of Salty and Sweet!

I wonder if some of the food cravings, especially fruits and vegetables, could be because of vitamin or mineral deficiencies? I have a medical condition where I lose salt and often have very low blood pressure. Whenever I notice myself craving fries and chips, I always try adding some salt to vegetables or taking sodium tablets to see whether that's the issue, it almost always is.

@vanilleglaceau good question!!!
I think sometimes it could be a deficiency, sometimes our bodies know what it needs.
other times it could also be psychological - that people just want to eat because they like to munch.0 -
Original potato chips (crisps). I try to keep only small packets in the house, because if there is a big bag, I might end up eating the whole thing
0 -
Goldfish crackers. I can easily eat a whole bag.9
-
Green olives and any kind of nuts1

I actually had a blood test done 5 weeks ago (very comprehensive,) and its totally perfect so I think this is mostly just that I looooove these foods lolvanilleglaceau wrote: »I wonder if some of the food cravings, especially fruits and vegetables, could be because of vitamin or mineral deficiencies?

potato chips I can polish off a big bag in a day easy3
-
Halo Top ice cream (it is expensive but low-calorie) and Beanitos Mac and Cheese Crunch. (Not at the same time...) But I have a dairy fixation.3
-
Grapes. When I'm on a grape kick, I can eat an entire bunch in a day.. especially when they're in liquid form.
But seriously, I love grapes.19 -
Cake. I've found if I add a cup of fruit to my plate (strawberries or blueberries for example), I can eat a slice without stirring up the desire to grab whatever uneaten cake remains and lock myself in the bathroom until I've finished inhaling it.3
-
any kind of pastry. ice cream. totally banned in my house.3
-
Homemade Pickled Red Beet Eggs. I *can* and *have* eaten a dozen in a day. We keep two jars made at all times around here because I lose my mind if we run low.
Pickles. I will eat them with nearly anything.
Block Cheese: Mostly Muenster and Pepper Jack.
Sliced Cheese: Horseradish American (omg so delicious).
Turkey Hill Chocolate Peanut Butter Ice Cream (no other brand but that)
Strawberries & Blueberries
Movie Theatre Butter Popcorn
Chocolate Milk w/ lots of ice
White Bruschetta Pizza (from Mom & Pop Pizzerias)
Salt, salt, and salt.

I've always had a salt tooth. I keep telling myself that since I'm hardcore working out and sweating for hours a day... I'm probably losing a lot of my salt anyway, soooo.... MORE PICKLES!3 -

The food that I cannot stop eating if available are the chips and salsa in the table at a Mexican restaurant. Holy cow. Must eat all the chips. Here I was thinking pizza was the problem....it is, but I solved it by having pizzas in a small enough size that I can eat the whole thing and stay within calories.
When it comes to table chips, all bets are off.3 -
If it has over like 60 calories I can't keep it in the house. This is something I'll have to work on if I ever find a man I'd want to live with or actually have a family.
I go crazy on nuts.2 -

Yeah, berrries are great! Filling and low cal. I try to eat them with my other sweeter fruit. When I do have cake though, which is rare because I have bad will power so I avoid it, I just eat a *kitten* ton of cake lol! And I make it myself so I know exactly how bad it is for me lol. Which is pretty bad... oh well... sometimes you need cake!2 -

Yea it's a pod you just pop into the machine for instant espresso. It is super fast and yummy.. haha0 -
Currently it's my reduced calorie version of Knorr Spinach dip. I've been eating it with a fork instead of as a dip.
PB2 - the weird part is I don't particularly like peanut butter, but I can't get enough PB2 powder. Must be a texture thing.
Melons. I can eat endless amounts of watermelon or cantaloupe. Lately it's been sugar kiss melon and Honey Kiss melon. Can't stop, won't stop.0 -
I get like that with this chocolate chai tea. It says zero calories but I'm skeptical that it must have some and I can easily drink 10 bags a day lolRedheadedPrincess14 wrote: »

OMG yeah PB2 is huge for me too. I also like it better than peanut butter. I make it kind of funny and use the it as a sauce. It's so good on roasted sweet potato!1 -
Plain m&m's, Goldfish, Cheez-its, Flamin' Hot anything, cheddar sour cream chips.1
-
Homemade baked chicken nuggets is the one thing i quickly found out I can't play portion control with.
Can't eat store-bought or fast-food chicken nuggets, as I always found them "eww", but if I make a batch it's going to get eaten asap... a whole large tray...one whole chicken breast, by myself! So yeah, I'm trying to forget the recipe!1 -
i'm in this weird limbo state right now around red delicious apples. i'm honestly over them. i'm honestly tired of eating them, honestly feel like i've done my apple-eating chores and i just don't want to be faced with another one. except when i don't have them for a day or two, i want them. i'm just kind of done eating them.
idk how to describe it. it's weird.2 -
Peter pan honey roasted peanut butter, nutella, cashews, pistachios, pecans, hard parmesan and extra sharp cheddar. I can keep all of these in my house, but once I start eating them I don't stop.3
-
Gin , and wine7
-
Tomato basil Triscuits. Or really any kind of box of crackers.... soo easy for me to just pick away at the box until realizing I've eaten the whole thing. :P1
